This bug caught me after the automatic upgrade to Hardy. WLAN did work quite well before. No it doesn't any more.

When it tries to connect, it writes lots of the aforementioned messages into the syslog:

dhcdbd: message_handler: message handler not found under /com/redhat/dhcp/eth0 for sub-path eth0.dbus.get.host_name

That's why I found this report.

For me this is the most unacceptable behaviour of a software I can imagine: You do an upgrade, everything seems o.k., you shutdown your system and after the next boot - bang, something really important isn't working anymore as it did before (I used a cable connection during system upgrade).

And here I go again, endlessly reading logfiles, bug reports and hints and trying lots and lots of workarounds without success. Instead of the work I wanted to do.

No, that's not for human beings, that's for nerds and geeks. Still. It makes me sad, because I actually like Ubuntu.

I expected to find a functioning workaround somewhere because I imagined I would not be the only person having this problem after upgrading to Hardy. But look - this bug isn't even assigned to anybody nor is it classified as a show stopper. This is what I really don't understand. I feel a bit microsofted.
